I am a proponent of giving students a deeper understanding by relating unfamiliar topics with mastered concepts. I ensure that my students understand that math and science are increasingly important subjects to understand in this age of computers and technology based...

...at California State University, Sacramento. After teaching there for four years, I moved to Charlottesville where my husband was finishing his law degree. I had the great privilege of teaching at Monticello High School for two years and recently moved to the Fairfax area. Working one-on-one with students was always the highlight of my teaching day, which is why I am now focusing more on that aspect of teaching. While teaching full-time, I also had...

...father: Education hasn’t changed since Socrates. It’s about relationships. I approach every day of instruction with this in mind. Only through cultivating these relationships and understanding our students can we truly impact their lives. Without these bonds, meaningful learning simply isn’t possible. Of course, if we truly care about our students, we must be properly equipped to help prepare them for the educational standards they must meet, and more importantly, life after high school. I...

...to demonstrate to students how the math and science concepts they’re learning in the classroom are applied in real scientific investigations. When working with students I use an inquiry-based approach to gently guide them toward the correct solution. This gives them ownership of their learning while ensuring that they have mastered the material. I have been involved with education and outreach activities for over 15 years. Throughout high school I tutored and taught middle school...

...B is certainly critical, but what is even more essential is the 'aha' moment when a difficult problem clicks, a love for writing comes about, a passion is ignited, and/or inspiration is born. This is what makes a student a lifelong learner who doesn't shy away from a challenge or the unknown. I like to inject fun and humor into learning and am the product of some really excellent educators who I like to think...

...up to College Algebra 1 and 2, as well as Pre-Calculus. I'm also well versed in SAT Math, so I'm interested in tutoring that as well. Experience with curriculum planning/ student assessment thanks to my stint as a Teaching Assistant in college. As a tutor I'm quite flexible; I realize every student learns at a different pace and via different methods so my main aim is to provide a supporting environment and create lesson plans...

...Justice, graduated from Ball State University 13 years ago and went straight to law school at Washington and Lee University right here in Virginia. One of my favorite parts of my current job is interacting with law student interns and paralegals and teaching them about the law. I do not get to do that often enough though, and so I thought of tutoring as a great way to be able to teach more students. I...

...and Psychology in the past. I scored in the top 98th percentile on the LSAT and specialize in helping students using proven techniques to increase their scores. Specifically, I can help students more easily break down the types of logic games and to distinguish between right and wrong answers in the Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections. I enjoy helping others obtain their educational goals, and would love to help increase your test scores, grades...

In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, especially golf and hockey,...

...to eventually receive my PhD in Bioinformatics. I believe that learning is all about asking questions. The most important skill we can develop as students and people is to realize the things that we do not know and find ways to ask questions about them. Whatever these things are, they are most certainly different for everyone, and challenging them and tackling them head on is a sure fire way to grow intellectually. Being an effective...
